GUIDELINES FOR FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT OF CDBG-FUNDED ACTIVITIES
To comply with federal regulations, each program must have a financial management system that
provides accurate, current and complete disclosure of the financial status of the activity. This means the
financial system must be capable of generating regular financial status reports which indicate the dollar
amount allocated for each activity (including any budget revisions), amount obligated (i.e., for which
contract exists), and the amount expended for each activity. The system must permit the comparison of
actual expenditures and revenues against budgeted amounts. The City must be able to isolate and to trace
every CDBG dollar received and prove where it went and for what it was used.
Accounting records must be supported by source documentation. Invoices, bills oflading, purchase
vouchers, payrolls and the like must be secured and retained for four years in order to show for what
purpose funds were spent. Payments should not be made without invoices and vouchers physically in
hand. All vouchers/invoices should be on vendor's letterhead.
All employees paid in whole or in part from CDBG funds should prepare a time sheet indicating the hours
worked on CDBG projects for each pay period. Based on these time sheets and the hourly payroll costs
for each employee, a voucher statement indicating the distribution of payroll charges should be prepared
and placed in the appropriate files.
The City is responsible for reviewing and certifying the financial management of any operating agency,
which is not a City department or bureau, in order to determine whether or not it meets all of the above
requirements. Ifthe agency's system does not meet these requirements and modifications are not
possible, the City must administer the CDBG funds for the operating agency.
Financial records are to be retained for a period of four years. with access guaranteed to the City, to HUD
or Treasury officials or their representative.
One copy of the vendors' audited financial statement shall be submitted to the City immediately following
the end of the vendors' fiscal year(s) during which CDBG funds are received.

. Americans with Disabilities Act(42 USC 1213 \; 47 USC 155.201. 218 and 225): Provides
comprehensive civil rights to individuals with disabilities in the areas of employment. public
accommodations, state and local government services and telecommunications. The Act, also
referred to as the ADA, also states that discrimination includes the failure to design and
construct facilities (built for first occupancy after January 26, 1993) that are accessible to and
usable by persons with disabilities. The ADA also requires the removal of architectural and
communication barriers that are structural in nature in existing facilities. Removal must be
readily achievable, easily accomplishable and able to be carried out without much difficulty
or expense.
. Fair Housing Act: Multi-family dwellings must also meet the design and construction
requirements at 24 CFR 100.205, which implement the Fair Housing Act (42 USC 3601-19)
. Section 504: Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 prohibits discrimination in
federally assisted programs on the basis of handicap. Section 504 imposes requirements to
ensure that "qualified individuals with handicaps" have access to programs and activities that
receive Federal funds. Under Section 504, recipients and subrecipients are not required to
take actions that create unique financial and administrative burdens or after the fundamental
nature of the program.
For any Provider principally involved in housing or social services, all of the activities of
the agency -- not only those directly receiving Federal assistance -- are covered under
Section 504.
Contractors or vendors are subject to Section 504 requirements only in the work they do
on behalf of the Provider or the City.
The ultimate beneficiary of the Federal assistance is not subject to Section 504
requirements.
. The Architectural Barriers Act of 1968 (42 USC 4151-4157): Requires certain Federal and
Federally-funded buildings and other facilities to be designed, constructed or altered in
accordance with standards that ensure accessibility to, and use by, physically handicapped
people.

II. EMPLOYMENT AND CONTRACTING
The Provider must comply with the regulations below governing employment and contracting
opportunities. These concern equal opportunity, labor requirements and contracting/procurement
procedures.
Equal Opportunity
The Provider must comply with the following regulations that ensure equal opportunity for
employment and contracting.
. Equal Emplovment Opportunity. Executive Order 11246. as amended: Prohibits
discrimination against any employee or applicant for employment because of race, color,
religion. sex or national origin. Provisions to effectuate this prohibition must be included in
all construction contracts exceeding $10,000. Implementing regulations may be found at 41
CFR Part 60.
. Section 3 of the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1968: Requires that, to the greatest
extent feasible, opportunities for training and employment arising from CDBG funds will be
provided to low-income persons residing in the program service area. Also, to the greatest
extent feasible, contracts for work (all types) to be perfonned in connection with CDBG will
be awarded to business concerns that are located in or owned by persons residing in the
program service areal
. MinoritylWomen's Business Enterorise: Under Executive Orders 11625, 12432 and 12138,
the City and the Provider must prescribe procedures acceptable to HOD for a minority
outreach program to ensure the inclusion, to the maximum extent possible, of minorities and
women, and entities owned by minorities and women, in all contracts (see 24 CFR 85.36(e)).
Labor Requirements
The Provider must comply with certain regulations on wage and labor standards. In the case of
Davis-Bacon and the Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Acts, every contract for
construction (in the case of residential construction, projects with eight or more units) triggers the
requirements.
. Davis-Bacon and Related Acts (40 USC 276(A)-7): Ensures that mechanics and laborers
employed in construction work under Federally-assisted contracts are paid wages and fringe
benefits equal to those that prevail in the locality where the work is perfonned. This act also
provides for the withholding of funds to ensure compliance, and excludes from the wage
requirements apprentices enrolled in bona fide apprenticeship programs.
. Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act. as amended (40 USC 327-333): Provides
that mechanics and laborers employed on Federally-assisted construction jobs are paid time
and one-half for work in excess of 40 hours per week, and provides for the payment of
liquidated damages where violations occur. This act also addresses safe and healthy working
conditions.
. Cooeland (Anti-Kickback) Act (40 USC 276c): Governs the deductions from paychecks that
are allowable. Makes it a criminal offense to induce anyone employed on a Federally
assisted project to relinquish any compensation to which he/she is entitled, and requires all
contractors to submit weekly payrolls and statements of compliance.
Page 3 of?
. Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938. As Amended (29 USC 201. et. sea.): Establishes the basic
minimum wage for all work and requires the payment of overtime at the rate of at least time
and one-half. It also requires the payment of wages for the entire time that an employee is
required or pennitted to work, and establishes child labor standards.
Contracting and Procurement Practices
The CDBG program is subject to certain Federal procurement rules. In addition, the City and the
Provider must take measures to avoid hiring debarred or suspended contractors or subrecipients
and conflict-of-interest situations. Each is briefly discussed below.
. Procurement: For the City, the procurement standards of24 CFR 85.36 apply. For non-profit
organizations receiving CDBG funds, the procurement requirements at 24 CFR Part 84 apply.
· Conflict ofInterest: The CDBG regulations require grantees (the City), state recipients and
subrecipients (the Provider) to comply with two different sets of conflict-of-interest
provisions. The first set of provisions comes from 24 CFR Parts 84 and 85. The second,
which applies only in cases not covered by 24 CFR Parts 84 and 85, is set forth in the CDBG
regulations. Both sets of requirements are discussed below.
The provisions at 24 CFR 85.36 and 24 CFR 84.42 apply in the procurement of property
and services by grantees (the City), state recipients, and subrecipients (the Provider).
These regulations require the City and the Provider to maintain written standards
governing the perfonnance of their employees engaged in awarding and administering
contracts. At a minimum, these standards must:
Require that no employee, officer, agent of the City or the Provider shall participate
in the selection, award or administration of a contract supported by CDBG if a
conflict-of-interest, either real or apparent, would be involved;
Require that employees, officers and agents of the City or the Provider not accept
gratuities, favors or anything of monetary value from contractors, potential
contractors or parties to subagreements; and
Stipulate provisions for penalties. sanctions or other disciplinary actions for
violations of standards.
A conflict would arise when any of the following has a financial or other interest in a
finn selected for an award:
An employee, agent or officer of the City or the Provider;
Any member of an employee's, agent's or officer's immediate family;
An employee's, agent's or officer's partner; or
An organization that employs or is about to employ an employee, agent or officer of
the City or the Provider.
The CDBG regulations at 24 CFR 570.611 governing conflict-of-interest apply in cases
not covered by 24 CFR 85.36 and 24 CFR 84.42. These provisions cover employees,
agents, consultants, officers and elected or appointed officials of the grantee (the City),
state recipient or subrecipient (the Provider). The regulations state that no person
covered who exercises or has exercised any functions or responsibilities with respect to
CDBG activities or who is in a position to participate in decisions or gain inside
infonnation:
May obtain a financial interest or benefit from a CDBG activity; or
Have an interest in any contract, subcontract or agreement for themselves or for
persons with business or family ties.
Page 4 of7
This requirement applies to covered persons during their tenure and for one year after
leaving the grantee (the City), the state recipient or subrecipient (the Provider) entity.
Upon written request, exceptions to both sets of provisions may be granted by HUD on a
case-by-case only after the City has:
Disclosed the full nature of the conflict and submitted proof that the disclosure has
been made public; and
Provided a legal opinion from the City stating that there would be no violation of
state or local law if the exception were granted.
. Debarred contractors: In accordance with 24 CFR Part 5, CDBG funds may not be used to
directly or indirectly employ, award contracts to or otherwise engage the services of any
contractor or subrecipient during any period of debarment, suspension or placement of
ineligibility status. The City should check all contractors, subcontractors, lower-tier
contractors or subrecipients against the Federal publication that lists debarred, suspended and
ineligible contractors.
III. ENVIRONMENTAL REQUIREMENTS
The City is responsible for meeting a number of environmental requirements, including
environmental reviews, flood insurance, and site and neighborhood standards.
Environmental Review
The City is responsible for undertaking environmental reviews in accordance with the
requirements imposed on "recipients' in 24 CFR 58. Reviews must be completed, and Requests
for Release of Funds (RROF) submitted to HUD before CDBG funds are committed for non-
exempt activities. Private citizens and organizations may object to the release offunds for CDBG
projects on certain procedural grounds relating to environmental review (see 24 CFR 58.70-
58.77). To avoid challenges, grantees (the City) and subrecipients (the Provider) should be
diligent about meeting procedural requirements.
Flood Insurance
Section 202 of the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973 (42 USC 4106): Requires that CDBG
funds shall not be provided to an area that has been identified by the Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA) as having special flood hazard, unless: The community is
participating in the National Flood Insurance Program, or it has been less than a year since the
community was designated as having special flood hazards; and Flood insurance is obtained.
IV. LEAD-BASED PAINT
On September IS, 1999, the "Requirements for Notification, Evaluation and Reduction of Lead-
Based Paint Hazards in Federally Owned Residential Property and Housing Receiving Federal
Assistance; Final Rule" was published within title 24 of the Code of Federal Regulations as part
35 (24 CFR 35). The regulation was issued under sections 1012 and 1013 of the Residential
Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act of 1992, which is Title X (ten) of the Housing and
Community Development Act of 1992. Sections 1012 and 1013 of Title X amended the Lead-
Based Paint Poisoning Prevention Act of 1971, which is the basic law covering lead-based paint
in federally associated housing.
The regulation sets hazard reduction requirements that give much greater emphasis to reducing
lead in house dust. Scientific research has found that exposure to lead in dust is the most
common way young children become lead poisoned. Therefore, the new regulation requires dust
testing after paint is disturbed to make sure the home is lead-safe. Specific requirements depend
on whether the housing is being disposed of or assisted by the federal government, and also on
Page 5 of7
the type and amount of financial assistance, the age of the structure, and whether the dwelling is
rental or owner occupied.
PROPERTY EXEMPT FROM LEAD-BASED PAINT REGULATION.
. Housing built since January 1, 1978, when lead paint was banned for residential use
. Housing exclusively for the elderly or people with disabilities, unless a child under age 6 is
expected to reside there
. Zero-bedroom dwellings, including efficiency apartments, single-room occupancy housing,
dormitories or military barracks
. Property that has been found to be free of lead-based paint by a certified lead-based paint
inspector .
. Property where all lead-based paint has been removed
. Unoccupied housing that will remain vacant until demolished
. Non-Residential property
. Any rehabilitation or housing improvement that does not disturb a painted surface
TYPES OF HOUSING SUBJECT TO 24 CFR 35
. Federally-Owned housing being sold
. Housing receiving a federal subsidy that is associated with the property, rather than with the
occupants (project-based assistance)
. Public housing
. Housing occupied by a family (with a child) receiving tenant-based subsidy (such as a
voucher or certificate)
. Multifamily housing for which mortgage insurance is being sought
. Housing receiving federal assistance for rehabilitation, reducing homelessness, and other
special needs
If you want copies of the regulation or have general questions, you can call the National
Lead Information Center at (800)424-LEAD, or TDD (800)526-5456 for the hearing
impaired. You can also download the regulation and other educational materials at
www.hud.gov/lea. For further information, you may call HUD at (202) 755-1785, ext. 104,
or e-mail HUD at lead regulations{alhud.gov.
V. DISPLACEMENT, RELOCATION, ACQUISITION AND REPLACEMENT OF
HOUSING
CDBG projects involving acquisition, rehabilitation or demolition may be subject to the
provisions of the Uniform Relocation Act (UDA). Demolition or conversion of units with CDBG
funds may trigger section 104 (d) (also known as the "Barney Frank Amendments" requirements.)
VI. COMPLIANCE WITH NATIONAL OBJECTIVE
The Provider will ensure and maintain evidence that activities assisted with CDBG funds from
the City of Miami Beach comply with the primary National Objective, "Benefit to Low and
Moderate Income Persons" and will provide services or activities that benefit at least 51 % low
and moderate income persons. A low or moderate-income household is defined as: a household
having an income equal to, or less than, the limits cited below. Individuals who are unrelated but
are sharing the same household shan each be considered as one-person households.
